picturesque Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sounds fine, but you've given no information as to how the gear will fit your style and working methods or why you need to upgrade or what you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picturesque Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Also, what other gear you are considering and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_osullivan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'd like to see something wide. 24 on a crop 40D is 49mm not very wide. Maybe a 10-22 instead of the 24 1.4. Or a 17-55 2.8IS instead of the 24-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_rubinstein___mancheste1664880652 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You don't need the zoom when half of it is covered by the primes, just add a 50mm. That said you sorely need WA so I would add a 16-35L to the mix. As you will of course have a 2nd camera for backup and you seem to be primes orientated then shoot with both bodies so you have two focal lengths to hand at any time.

james_nealy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 24-70 on a crop body will be a waste of money. Replace the 24-70 with a 17-55 EFS (they are made exclusively fofr the crop bodies and it is still a 2.8.) Add the 50 and a 70-200 2.8 Sigmasis half the price of canon's and is a great lens. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
